Level 2 is an ongoing class with new material taught every week.

WCS Trends and Technique (Workshops Offered)

The focus of this workshop is to “step out of the box.” This workshop is all about letting the music guide your movement while giving you the skills to do it. This workshop is not about patterns – it’s about altering patterns based on what the music is doing. Develop a greater sense of timing, learn how the pros listen to the music, and really get the most out of a song.

Prerequisite: Completion of the Newcomer, Fundamental, and Level 3 class monthly workshops, 1-2yrs current WCS dance experience or instructor permission is required for this workshop.

No reservations are required to attend group classes, though we ask that you arrive 15 minutes early the first time you attend class at the studio so that you will have time to complete the Student Registration Form and get checked in to class. (We typically have a lot of people checking in the for class at the same time, and this will help to ensure you are not late to class. Classes are 55 mins.
